How to share an ADSL Internet connection with Windows 2003?

I use the PC with Windows 2003 as a domain controller and file server. Now, I want to make it share the Internet connection. I've done it before with cable Internet without a problem, but this wicked DSL (never liked it), I just can't configure it correctly.
I use Winpoet to connect to the net and I can connect correctly. I use a ADSL modem (not router) which goes connected to an ethernet adapter.

Using a router is not an option, since I'm not using it to have better control of what people do with Internet at my company.

So how do you share a ADSL connection? Also, my IPs are static.
 
win2k3 in ICS won't allow better control, it may even be worse.

Unless you are installing some 3rd party software, or ISA server.

I wouldn't setup this machine to route, as it's a big risk. If this box gets owned (and if it's the edge/unh/w firewalled box, it stands a good chance eventually) then you lose your domain controller, and files.
 
Using Win2k3 on domain controller at my company. We have 2 DSL services running (for load balancing) through the 1 wired router for wired connections and 1 wireless AP for wireless. Why not just go with a router? I am systems admin and can control users just fine through router settings and policies. What exactly are you trying to control?
 
I don't understand why a router isn't an option? You REALLY don't want to have your DC as the edge router as well. If you let us know a little bit more about what you are trying to do as far as controlling access, we can give you a better idea of what you want to do.
